That sounds related somehow. On Mac, you're more apt to get a crash rather than just a visual glitch. What happens if you use the Developer menu to clear all breakpoints? Same thing? -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On

Panos has diagnosed at least part of the problem. It has to do with red dot breakpoints. Using the breakpoint command instead may (will?) avoid the crash. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On August 1, 2019 4:22:57 PM Bob

I'm assuming you can send the ^c down the process connection. That is, write to the opened process. Wait a bit after that or look at the response, and then shut down the polling send-loop and then close the connection if it is not already closed, It might be that simply closing the connection

The trouble with this and Peppermint is they are only for MacOS. So it doesn't really fall into the LC 'code once for all' bracket. Not that it isn't useful for some individual projects. But it would be even better if there was a code runner that was PC, Linux and Windows (and even mobile)
